Hello, I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 on my Dell P-II 300MHz machine and I really found the install to be painless. I am having a problem however when I try to boot. I have installed BSD on my second hard drive and am using Windows NT's OS Loader to boot BSD (I was able to do this thanks to a handy little program called Bootpart) The system appears to boot just fine it chefcks all my drives and so forth but the stops with this message "Panic can't mount root" the system then reboots. Has anyone got any ideas? I didn't use and of the bootmanagers that came with my BSD CDs and I chose the option to leave my MBR untouched since I would be using the NT OS Loader on my primary drive to boot BSD on my secondary drive. Any and all help would be appreciated.
